Laurie Boomers, Elementary Music Thornapple/Pine Ridge.
I have been teaching either privately, as a substitute teacher, or in a school for a total of 30 years. 16 of those years have been with Forest Hills Public Schools. My main instrument is the violin and I continue to play with the Calvin Community Symphony. I enjoy seeing the joy on my student’s faces as they learn and experience music. It is my hope that each student develops a deep appreciation and ability to discern what quality music is so that the art of creating and making music will continue to play an important role throughout their entire life.
